The choices for women have become saturated along with products for babies, not a bad thing when you consider how much impact natural & organic beauty brands are having in the market. However, the category aimed at anyone in between is usually the realm of glittery, plastic, petrochemical, artificial color & flavor, toxic makeup POISON. It’s a nightmare to find something not too adult and not too young with cool design and completely natural formulation. Not anymore! New brand on the block, ‘Good For You Girls’ is 100% natural with no toxic chemicals and nothing harmful. Plus the packaging is sooooooo cute. Designed specifically for young skin, the complete starter kit contains everything your daughter or BFF needs to put her best face forward! Good, clean, honest skincare and at only $24.99 for the set that includes Gel Cleanser, Toner & Moisturizer, you know what we’re thinking… just in time for xmas!

It is proof in a world where we are always looking for the next great innovation that natural ingredients and a kick-butt formula win every time. That’s why I love Farmaesthetics Nourishing Lavender Milk, which uses only eight ingredients to nourish, hydrate, and soothe skin, a true rarity in this day and age. While lavender works to scent and condition, soy and calendula simultaneously act to even skin tone and soothe skin that is damaged, chapped, or just plain sensitive. Not too heavy but moisturizing enough to last for hours, this gentle and non-synthetic formula can be used anywhere on skin or baby to provide a little bit of lavender scented softness. A true multitasker, Lavender Milk works just as well for use in massages as it does as an everyday lotion, due to its slippery texture. Girls in the know like Victoria Kirby, Beauty Editor at Allure Magazine, voted it one of her favorite beauty products. Simple and effective? More than that... a modern miracle. www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

Olive oil has been used for thousands of years for eating & cooking. And lest no part of this miracle plant go unnoticed, olive leaf extracts are one of nature's most potent antioxidants - up to 100 times more powerful than echinacea for boosting immunity. You can freeze it, burn it or cut it down, and the Olive Tree always reappears. The leaves stay on olive trees for seven years and develop a waxy coating for protection against harsh climate conditions that when scraped back, after all that time, reveal a bright-green, young leaf underneath! Conceived and created by Laurent Baussan, son of L'Occitane (no introduction needed) founder Olivier Baussan, the Oliv laboratories have found the secret to skin longevity in the olive leaf, then combined it with the moisturizing properties of green tea, edelweiss & aloe vera to produce this new organic skincare collection called Oliv. The concentrated and active organic complex provides the protection our skin needs from free radicals, but also helps to protect from cellular stress, stimulating cell regeneration. The Radiance Elixir is literally an elixir of life for stressed skins, the multitasking Lip & Eye Contour Treatment is highly effective, the Aloe Soothing Moisturizing Mist will be a must-have for these summer months coming up and the rest of the Oliv line is no less noteworthy for its potency. Certified organic & natural, this amazing new line is available exclusively at www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

Believing that nature is the best source of beauty, their products are formulated with natural extracts and are completely free of harmful chemicals. Priced as affordable without sacrificing quality, I haven't personally tried the products but the line includes makeup, skincare etc... I also haven't been able to verify ingredients from their website, but I love that they're making the effort so that's why I bring them up. Just make sure if you swing by to check out the line, that you read the labels.

This is an exquisite body dessert that smells of chocolate ganache and is fabulously moisturizing!!! Great after bath or shower (and won't even cause razor burn). And of course, it's filled to the top with awesome organic ingredients.
